A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and predominantly vertical stress. The design pairs robust main stems with extremely fine hairlines and crisp, pointed serifs, creating a sharp, engraved look. Capitals are broad and commanding with strong straight-sided structure, while lowercase shows compact bowls and clear, open apertures; the two-story “a” and “g” are traditional and tightly drawn. Numerals are similarly contrasted, with assertive verticals and delicate connecting strokes that emphasize a refined, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book titling where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for poster-style statements and upscale branding applications that benefit from a stately, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion authority. Its sharp serifs and bright hairlines read as elegant and slightly severe, suggesting traditional print craft and polished sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with modern crispness: strong verticals for impact, and fine hairlines for elegance. It prioritizes dramatic presence and typographic refinement in display and editorial settings.
In the text sample, the intense contrast produces a striking sparkle at larger sizes, while the finest horizontals and joins become visually delicate as size decreases. The wide, weighty capitals create a strong typographic color and an assertive presence in headings and short passages.
